DANIAL had put on a helmet and was riding on a motorbike when the vibrations in his pocket felt, presenting small folds on his forehead a sign of confusion spreading there. There's an incoming call. His motor engine was forced to shut down because he wanted to check the phone from whom. Just one time the phone was from a family that brought important news.

No name, aka a new number was found when pitting the view with the phone screen. It came to Danial's mind to ignore the call. After all lately he often gets strange calls from obscure people. Mama asked for a pulse, a one billion lottery draw, a car lottery draw, even many more unreasonable fraud experiments. His phone was returned to his pocket right then and there.

What if the phone is really important? Think Danial again.

The phone that was kept in the pocket was taken again by Danial. But before that, he first opened the helmet that wrapped his head. For a moment the phone that displays twelve digits of the number is carefully observed by the owner of the phone. Because I don't want to regret it later. Danial chose to press the green button and then bring the phone closer to the front of his right ear.

"Who is this?" ask Danial.

"It's me. Brother-in-law," replied the man across the street.

"It looks like you're on the wrong side. I'm still in high school, not married to be exact."

"Wait...."

"What else is it?"

"It's me Nakula. You called me brother-in-law yesterday. That's why today I'm calling you adek-in-law."

"Gue tegakin's. From now on I'm not your brother-in-law anymore. I'm just as good as you've broken up," Danial explained in simple sentences as possible. "Btw tumben-tumbenan you call me, pack a polite tone all over again. I'm sure you have something you want, right?"

"Know lo, adek-in-law."

"Gue is not your brother-in-law!" reply Danial, "Gue hope you stop calling me with frills like that again."

"Lo's coming home with Aurel!" get the man across there lightly. Is it not enough to know the fact that Danial and Aurel have broken up?

"Did?"

"Yes. I have a sudden business on campus."

"But, right, I'm just as good as you don't have it..."

"Deciding does not mean that the friendship between the two of you ends. All I want to know is that our parents are friends." cut Nakula smart. "Thank you before," he continued as if he was sure that Danial would approve his request.

"Eh, don't just conclude woi. I haven't answered agree or don't want Aurel back home."

"What did you say? Your voice is dashed, it's not clear" Nakula said. The man across there pretended as if his network was in trouble. "Gue hang up the phone, thank you for coming home. You're the coolest man I've ever met, Dan."

"Nacula? Huh hello? You're still there, right?"

Tut's...Tut's...Tut's...

Even the sentence was not perfect and now Nakula cut off her phone connection unilaterally.

"Damn Nakula! If there is a wish only baek is not limited," said Danial, staring annoyed at the screen of his phone.

...●●●●●...

AUREL bowed playing his fingers. School officially ended about fifteen minutes ago. But until now Nakula has not come to pick him up. Aurel tried to dial the man's number but could not connect. Maybe his phone is in a lobe right now.

Leana had offered a ride, but Aurel foolishly refused because she was too sure Nakula would come to pick up as promised at breakfast this morning.

"Oh, what about it?" Aurel felt a sense of dread. He doesn't know what else to do. The problem is also that his pocket money has been spent before going home. Now who should ask for help? Time to go home on foot. The distance from school to the house is quite far, until the house must have his legs auto achy as he chose to walk.

Regret at least just hit Aurel now. Know that he would've been home by now had he taken Leana's car. As if dissatisfied with his present suffering, God again fell a new trial. Just heard the sound of stomach rumbling. Aurel's hungry.

"Udah can not go home, now given the ordeal of hunger anyway. Apes really me today," murmured Aurel monologued while holding the part of his stomach that was rumbling.

The sound of the horn made Aurel's body jerk in shock.

"Let's go up!" the voice belonged to Danial. The man did not turn off the motor despite verbal interaction with Aurel. "Gue doesn't have much time, it's better for you to go up."

"No need," Aurel repelled in a cold tone. "Isn't our relationship over? Then why are you tired of me coming home? Or maybe you've already lost money and reinstated it again?"

"The nyerocos?" rhetorical Danial. Aurel quietly closed both sides of her lips. "Can't you, so don't be a human being?"

"Gue doesn't know what you mean, which obviously I don't want to debate. You better go first because I got picked up with Nakula."

"The facts will not come. Believe me the same."

"Know what lo? Is it a fortune teller?"

"How do you not know, the person he himself called me to nganterin you go home. He said he had important business on campus. So next time don't be hypoxic. Especially so I can't move on. Just so you know, I'm a typical person who easily forgets that you've broken up with someone."

Aurel stayed in place. He seemed to want to just disappear from this world because he was embarrassed to accuse Danial has not been able to forget it.

"Don't!" sahut Aurel fast. Oath for whatever Aurel can guarantee himself will go home to take a taxi only if in his pocket there are still rupiah sheets.

"Hunt go up then!"

"Your starlings."

"What did you say just now?"

"No, I'm just saying wait a minute, I don't mean you."

"Well, if you do me, just get ready I go down by the side of the road" Danial threatened. "Now put the helmet on!" said the man immediately threw away the helmet in his hand. Fortunately Aurel swiftly caught it. Otherwise, it was certain that the helmet would end up on the ground.

...●●●●●...

UNLOCK the helmet glass. Aurel watched the surroundings with a shriveled forehead. How not. He thought Danial would drive him home as ordered by Nakula. Beyond a doubt Danial even parked the motorbike in front of a restaurant that had visited the two while still dating first.

"Do I need to maki-maki first let you go straight down?" fierce Danial while opening and then put a helmet that had wrapped his head randomly on the right rearview.

Aurel doesn't listen. Aurel immediately got off the motor while taking a long breath. Following Danial, Aurel removed his head-wrapping helmet. Not to forget the helmet was handed to the owner, "Ngapain you stopped by the restaurant?"

"Near by, eat first."

"No need" Aurel folded his arms right in front of his chest. "Gue's not laper."

"Eh, can you not think before the nyerocos at length? Who wants to eat?"

"If you don't want me to eat, then why did you stop by the restaurant?" Aurel returned with a question.

"Lo this is an oath. Who are you going to eat? I stopped by the restaurant to fill my stomach" after explaining. Danial immediately back in the body. He took an accelerated step into the restaurant.

Aurel railed silently after Danial left her alone in the parking lot. "Basic fucking man!" sibling with a soft voice. Not wanting to stay in the parking lot alone the girl took her footsteps into the restaurant following Danial.

There was no conversation between them. While waiting for his order to come, Danial busied himself by playing the phone. In front of him, Aurel is busy reading the novel loaned by Leana while at school.

"This is Mas, the order."

Danial put his phone on the table and then turned face to the waiter who brought his order. "Put it here, Mas!" danial's Edict.

When the waiter has left. Danial took a quick look at Aurel. The girl did not react at all. He is still focusing on his books.

Well, I'm really hungry but the pocket money is already abis! What's that supposed to be? If Danial sees Aurel, he seems calm reading his book. A story with Aurel. Aurel had been furious to hold back her hunger. Even if now he seems calm reading his book, it is solely to avoid verbal interaction with Danial—si the most annoying human he has ever met.

Why does my stomach even sound. Danial is not horrified! Please Aurel in his heart.

Danial paused his feed. He almost published a smile when he accidentally heard Aurel's rumbling stomach. "Well, I swear, really good meat," Danial commented excessively, his goal was none other than to tease the girl sitting opposite him.

Damn Danial, pack the meatballs. There was more laper.

"Daniel!" call Aurel. The novel in hand had been closed and placed on the table.

"Hmm."

"Can you please please?"

"What?"

"Pinjem money dong!"

"Nothing."

"Gue promises to return tomorrow right at school. I'm a really good laper."

Danial reached into his pocket to pick up a gray wallet from inside. Seeing that Aurel could not help but smile. Eventually the hunger that strikes him will soon pay off in a moment.

"How many minjem do you want?" ask Danial.

"Fifty thousand."

Danial pulled a piece of money with a nominal fifty thousand from his wallet, "Gue pinjemin but on condition."

"What are the conditions?"

"Flower pack."

"Astagfirullah Danial's. Why don't you be a loan shark then."

"What about fifty percent?"

"It's fifty percent but I'm all reporting this to you so you get angry."

"Why are you even nagging me? It's you who needs to be crazy."

"As far as I dong!" aurel. His hands moved quickly in taking the rupiah sheet in Danial's hands. "Tomorrow I change your money, but without interest!"
